The heads of state highly praised the prepatory work done before the visit and the package of agreements that they intend to sign.

Vladimir Putin and Muammar Gaddafi discussed the prospects of Russian-Libyan cooperation in the field of civil nuclear energy and in issues concerning nuclear non-proliferation. They also discussed cooperation projects in the field of transport infrastructure, addressed security issues in the Persian Gulf and the Middle Eastern settlement. The parties also expressed themselves in favour of strengthening the role of the UN.

The negotiations then continued with the participation of the two countries' delegations.
